This is my reaction to the idea of using a Ginger Hackle on PMDs that happened recently on another topic. I normally use dun or light partridge on those flies.

Re: Ginger and Opal
I like it Bill. It has just enough Yellow to it. I could make that pattern work, from May until October, in every section of the water column. It is a very classy tie. Better yet, I know it is a fish magnet.

Really nice, Bill. That will catch for sure.

That’s a beaut! Love the silk rib over the Mylar body. Such a nice color combination overall.
